Mr. Yang has helped her run the workshop for so long, so he naturally understands the hidden meaning of her words.
He nodded in shame and did not refuse and said:
"If we have younger siblings to help us, we must not have mentioned it. Nianzi and Wan'er are living a good life in the village, but the rollers are far away, so we have to help. But don't worry, I am sure that a bowl of water will be equal, and it will not
I feel wronged Wan'er."
"Sister-in-law, we are not outsiders, how can I still not believe in your husband and wife's character? Let's not mention this. How is Mianni's life going out? Are you and your wife okay?"
If we continue this topic, we will have to talk about Guo Dake and Dong Cheng helping Li Hui. It would be pointless to mention it all the time. It is better to stop here and keep it in mind.
When Li Yue came, they were talking about things in the village, and they were inevitably praised by Guo Dake and his wife. She blushed with embarrassment, but she still responded bravely.
She finally got the chance to ask about Yu Wan's affairs. Their aunt and nephew exchanged letters on weekdays, and Luozi often wrote letters home, so the relationship between them was not alienated.
"...Last time I wrote that my mother-in-law's back was not in good condition. Has she recovered now?"
Yang shook his head and said without concealment:
"If you dodge twice in a row, you can no longer do heavy work. Fortunately, Li Zhong has brought out the roller, so I let him take over. Your uncle doesn't go to the forest farm anymore. He works in the workshop and warehouse, so he will follow.
I have learned a lot from others."
She was really proud of her husband's ability to read.
Cheng Xue also warmly encouraged Guo Dake and asked Hongyu to go to the warehouse to find a set of the Four Treasures of the Study that were a little more elegant.
Before he could refuse, Cheng Xue took the initiative and said with a smile:
"This is an encouragement to Brother Dake. You should practice more diligently when you go back. When you and Nianzi can be on your own, I will transfer Li Zhong and his wife back."
"What the girl means is..."
Cheng Xue nodded and said without denying:
"We should stay here for a while. Tiandong and Bai Shao have already married, and Li Zhong's son-in-law and daughter-in-law are orphans, so they have to come over. I will keep the existing people at home,
Then big brother and Nianzi can help take care of the yard. When Huizi retires and returns to his hometown, we will continue to be neighbors."
It is definitely not possible at the moment. Li Hui still has a lot to do. His ideals and ambitions have only just been revealed.
Everything in the village was handed over to Guo Dake because the couple couldn't leave.
Firstly, Nianzi is the eldest son, so they won't move. Secondly, his fifth younger brother and sister are also in Wanghe Village with a pair of children, and he can't move at all. Plus Mianni and Yunni, in short, it's most reassuring to leave it to him.
Guo Dake didn't refuse to her, he nodded and said:
"Sure, since you and Hui Zi can trust me, it's our duty to do so."
"Then it's settled. Tiedan and Luozi are both coming back for dinner in the evening. My eldest brother and sister-in-law will go back to the yard to rest first. We'll talk later."
"Okay, then I won't bother you."
"It should."
Cheng Xue took Li Yue and sent them to the guest house. Seeing that everything in the house was fully prepared, she said with confidence:
"Brother and sister-in-law have a good rest, and we will talk again later."
"Well, thank you, sister." Yang said as he warmly sent her out of the house.
Cheng Xue and Li Yue walked side by side toward the kitchen. They planned to take a look at the dishes for the night, but they didn't expect Yongxi to walk this way in a hurry.
"Congratulations, madam, congratulations, madam, for your promotion."
"Really? Why did my dad get promoted?" Li Yue was so anxious that his hometown accent came out.
Cheng Xue smiled and patted the back of her hand, reminding her not to be too impulsive.
"Miss Hui, I am currently acting as the Minister of Household Affairs, and I am a third-rank official."
"The temporary term is not long-term, so it doesn't count." Cheng Xue rationally corrected Yong Xi, "Can the master come back normally tonight?"
"As far as I'm concerned, madam, the master is still in the palace."
Cheng Xue said "hmm" and had no reaction. Seeing how steady her mother was, Li Yue admired her even more.
The mother and daughter went to the kitchen and returned to the main courtyard. Li Zhong was already waiting in the room.
There is a box on the table, which contains ledgers and banknotes.
When the mother and daughter sat down, Li Zhong knelt down solemnly, kowtowed three times respectfully, and said:
"Thank you madam for taking care of these children for me. I will kowtow to you on behalf of Yu Niang."
Cheng Xue did not stop him from kowtowing, and it was useless to do so. This was his way of expressing his gratitude.
After he finished knocking and stood up, he said:
"Now that you know everything, I won't hide it from you. At the beginning, the master and I really wanted you and Yuniang to help us guard our home in Liaodong. But as we grow older, we naturally understand that you are the same as others.
The suffering I endured with Yu Niang.”
"Madam, it's serious. Yuniang and I really don't feel the pain. We are very lucky to be able to come to our home."
Cheng Xue smiled and nodded, not doubting his enthusiasm.
"In this way, Jia Ning and Jia An will always be your guides. Choose one to stay and take over your work, and then you can help me practice the nianzi. When you feel that they are almost ready, come to the capital and don't leave. Tiandong is very
With his business acumen, I’m going to ask him to go out and help me expand my business.”
"Yes, yes, old slave, thank you madam, thank you madam."
After Li Zhong finished speaking, he wanted to kneel down, but this time he was stopped by Cheng Xue.
"Stop kneeling and come over to check the account. I heard from Dake that the village also grows dongzi vegetables this year?"
"Yes, the Dong family, the patriarch's family, and the eldest son of the Li Zheng family all grow the vegetables. The old slaves collect the vegetables, and the prices are reasonable, so we can make a profit. The main reason is that this year, Mrs. Zhou opened two more stir-fry restaurants in the town.
The stove house needs a lot of vegetables, but we can't supply them."
"You did the right thing. Don't expand the house next year so that the people in the village can make some money."
"Okay, I understand. Madam is really generous."
They were doing the reconciliation in a relaxed and happy manner, but Li Hui came out of the imperial study with a miserable look on his face.
If he knew that complaining today would get him promoted, he wouldn't do it even if he was beaten to death.
Is this called promotion? This is called death!
Liu Berson obviously had a lot of confusion, otherwise the emperor would not have been able to keep him for most of the day, and even have lunch in the palace.
Damn it, I'm passive.
Dexi had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time. When he saw him coming out, he hurried forward, bowed his hands and said:
"Sir, Guo Dake and his wife came from Liaodong."
Li Hui immediately became energetic after hearing this, and raised his voice with an "ouch":
"Why are my eldest brother and sister-in-law suddenly here? Send someone to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask for leave. I have to go back to my hometown."
After saying that, he jumped into the carriage like a rabbit. As the carriage left the palace, a eunuch inside the palace wall hurriedly ran back to the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Li Hui has relatives from afar. He went home directly without going to the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"Relatives? Over there with the Yu family?"
"I will go check it out now."
The little eunuch returned within less than one stick of incense.
"Back to the emperor, I'm not from Yujiatun, but from Wanghe Village with the surname Guo."
